Fig. 3: Study structure

In the basic study period mathematical-scientific and engineering basics are taught. In addition short introductions to renewable energy engineering and our ecosystem are given.

The main study period consists of three theoretical semesters and two semester of gaining experience in practical work. In the second of these semesters, students have to write their diploma theses.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the

curriculum of basic and main study respectively.
